Point Beach Nuclear Plant gets new resident inspector

TWO CREEKS – David Oliver is the new senior resident inspector at Point Beach Nuclear Plant.

Oliver joined the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2011, after nearly a decade in the U.S. Navy, where he served on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Enterprise and as an instructor at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Unit.

He is a native of Greenwood and received a bachelor’s degree in applied nuclear engineering from Thomas Edison State College, Trenton, N.J. Before assignment to Point Beach, he was a senior reactor operator for a nuclear power plant.

Each commercial nuclear power plant in the United States has at least two NRC resident inspectors who monitor day-to-day operations at the plant.

Point Beach Nuclear Plant near Two Rivers is owned by NextEra Energy of Juno Beach, Fla.
